We'll briefly touch on the options that are available and the price points for each style. For the purpose of this post we'll stick with information on the 10ft x 10ft tradeshow booth.


Tradeshow Booth Options

Tension Fabric Backwalls. The price point for a straight fabric backwall is $1200.00 to $1400.00 for a printed in Canada product. These displays come with a simple pop up frame, full colour graphics printed on polyester fabric and the following features:




  • Other than vinyl banners this type of display has the lowest price point
  • Lightweight at approximately 28lbs for a 10ft booth.
  • Sets up in under 5 minutes.
  • Fabric graphics can easily be changed or swapped out.

A couple of observations worth noting about fabric displays, they are fabric which means they can wrinkle. Clients will often leave the fabric on the frame and pack it away for convenience. When the frame and graphics are unpacked and set up they will initially have some wrinkles. Wrinkles should dissipate over the course of a day. In the event you have concerns about this a fabric steamer can be purchased at most department stores for approximately $25.00 which also helps.




Fabric graphics are not completely opaque. This means that strong back-lighting at an event can cast shadows of the frame that show through on the front of your display.  This can be minimized by adding creating graphics with rich dark solids or adding a light blocking fabric to the back of the display.




Pop Up Displays. The price range for pop up trade show display is $1950.00 to $2400.00 for a product printed in Canada, depending on the options chosen. This traditional type of display still packs a punch for dollars invested and includes the following features:

  • A good mid range price point.
  • Sets up in 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Everything for this display packs away in a single hard shipping case/podium.
  • The graphics are completely opaque.




The graphics for this type of display are printed on individual panels approximately 26" in width. When you're assembling this type of display some care needs to be taken to line up the graphics panel to panel. Although you may find this process slightly frustrating on the first assembly, once you've mastered the alignment.

One of the main benefits of this style of display is opacity. This means you have complete control over the lighting and shadows on the graphics in your booth. In our opinion this provides a better overall visual experience.




Truss Tradeshow Displays. The price point for truss display is $4800.00 to $6000.00 for a printed in Canada product, depending on the options chosen. Truss based displays provide a unique industrial look and include the following features:

  • Very distinct look.
  • Sets up in 60 to 90 minutes.
  • The sturdiness of the frame allows for easy attachment of large monitors.
  • Modular components can easily by added or removed

Although this style of display takes longer to assemble the actual process is very easy, involving only one tool.

The modular nature of these displays allow them to be rearranged as a 5ft, 10ft or 20ft display.
